Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition comprising a triglyceride-containing oil, jojoba oil, a free fatty acid or a salt thereof, and squalene. The present invention also relates to the use of such a composition as a skin conditioning agent.

[0002] Skin is constantly exposed to the environment and its changing conditions, such as dryness, humidity, sunshine, UV radiation, coldness, and pollution. Furthermore, under normal living conditions, skin is exposed to a microbial flora, including bacterial and fungal germs and cells. In addition, skin may be exposed to mechanical stress.

[0003] In healthy skin, the outer layers of the skin are mechanically and physically protected by the stratum corneum and skin hair. Furthermore, various types of glands produce lipids that protect the skin from dehydration and detrimental microbes. For example, sebaceous glands produce sebum.

[0004] Skin secretions such as sebum have a number of functions, including preventing dehydration of the skin, lubricating the skin, balancing the hydrophobicity of the skin, providing oxidative resistance, maintaining and restoring elasticity and flexibility of the skin. Skin secretions may also play a role in thermoregulation or influence the microbial flora.

[0005] Skin homeostasis can be disturbed by external or internal factors. Such factors can detrimentally alter the composition of the sebaceous lipids (also skin lipids) contained in sebum as well as the moisture content of the skin. For example, environmental factors, climate, season changes, pollution, flights, wearing face masks, harsh surfactants, hyper hygiene, shaving, diet, stress, aging, hormones can lead to an imbalance in the composition of the sebaceous lipids or deprive the skin of skin lipids and skin moisture. This in turn can lead to dry skin, oily skin, sensitive skin, irritated skin, acne skin, for example.

[0006] There is an ongoing need for cosmetic products, in particular skin care products, and ingredients therefor, such as emollients. In particular, there is a need for ingredients, such as emollients, that protect the skin, help it to recover from the loss of natural lipids and keep it moist. Consumers have generally become more conscious about the ingredients used in cosmetic products. Among others, they desire sustainable and environmentally friendly ingredients that are derived from renewable sources. There is also a desire for ingredients, such as emollients, that provide appealing sensations (e.g. a pleasant feel and after-feel) and appealing textures. Ideally, such ingredients can replace silicones in cosmetic formulations, since silicones in cosmetic products have come under increased scrutiny.

[0007] It has now been found that a composition comprising a triglyceride-containing oil, jojoba oil, a free fatty acid or a salt thereof, and squalene provides various beneficial technical effects.

[0008] Accordingly, the invention relates to a composition comprising:

(A) 20 to 70% by weight of one or more oils comprising at least 75% by weight, referred to the total weight of the one or more oils, of one or more triglycerides as component A;

(B) 10 to 50% by weight of jojoba oil as component B;

(C) 5 to 30% by weight of one or more free fatty acids or salts thereof as component C;

(D) 5 to 25% by weight of squalene as component D; and

(E) 0 to 10% by weight of one or more antioxidants as component E.

[0009] The composition of the present invention is, for example, useful as a skin conditioning agent, such as an emollient. When applied to skin, it provides a pleasant (e.g. natural) feel as well as after-feel. It may replenish lost sebaceous lipids and/or may rebalance the composition of the sebaceous lipids. The composition of the present invention is convenient to use, and it shows a high stability to oxidation. The composition of the present invention can be derived from renewable sources.

[0010] Percentages by weight as used herein refer to the total weight of the respective component. In the context of the composition of the present invention, the percentages by weight (% by weight) refer to the total weight of the composition. In the context of a specific component, the percentages by weight (% by weight) refer to the total weight of the specific component.

Examples

Example 1 - Example of a composition of the present invention

[0163] The blend was prepared by mixing its ingredients at room temperature. The ingredients listed in Table 1 were added one by one and stirred until the blend was homogeneous. The blend was obtained as a clear oily liquid.

Table 1. Example of a composition of the present invention

Ingredients	INCI name	Amount
Plantasens® Ref Olive Oil	Olea europaea Olive oil	41%
Golden Jojoba Oil	Simmondsia chinensis seed oil	26%
Oleic acid from Olive	Oleic acid	16%
Plantasens® Olive Squalene	Squalene	12%
Plantasens® Vitamin E Natural 50	Tocopherol, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed oil	5%*

* 2.5% Tocopherol + 2.5% Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) Seed oil

Example 2 - Technical parameters and oxidative stability

[0164] The following technical parameters were determined for the blend of Example 1:

• Surface tension [mN/m], determined according to EN 14370:2004 [25 °C]: 32.5
• Spreadability [mm2/10 min]: 493
• Cloud point, determined according to DIN ISO 3016 [°C]: -3
• Refractive index, determined according to DIN ISO 6320 [20°C]: 1.4716

[0165] The spreadability was determined as follows:

• Vitro-Skin^® hydration protocol: Vitro-Skin^® pieces must be stored for a period of 16 to 24 hours on the shelf of a standardized hydration chamber with a 350 g mixture of glycerol (15%) and water (85%) at the bottom.
• The spreading value will be defined as the surface area covered by 10 µl of oil mixture after 10 minutes.
• The liquid will be dropped into the center of a hydrated Vitro-Skin^® piece measuring 65 x 65 mm using a manual micropipette from Fa. Mettler-Toledo LLC, Ohio, USA.
• The Vitro-Skin^® sample will be kept in the hydration chamber for 10 min according to the spreading phase.
• After 10 minutes, the outline of the spreading surface will be determined visually, and the spread will be determined using a ruler.
• The spreading area will be calculated using the circular area formula: A = πr² [A: area; π: circle number (3.14159...); r: radius of the circle calculated].
• Measurements will be performed in triplicate at room temperature.
• The spreading values are given in mm² (the higher the value, the higher the spread).

[0166] The oxidative stability at 90°C was determined according to DIN EN ISO 6886 for the blend of Example 1 and compared with the oxidative stability of squalene. The induction time for the blend of Example 1 (> 50 hours) was significantly higher than the induction time for squalene (4.84 hours). Accordingly, the blend of Example 1 is significantly more stable to oxidation than squalene. The composition of the present invention shows high stability to oxidation.

Example 3 - Sensory evaluation

[0167] A sensory evaluation of the blend of Example 1 was conducted by a trained panel. The blend was applied to the skin. The panel found that the blend provides a pleasant feel during application as well as a pleasant after-feel. The composition of the present invention can be used as an emollient.
